Other

I graduated from Penn State University's M.F.A. program for nonfiction writing. I taught creative-writing courses at Penn State University, Harrisburg Area Community College, and now at Shippensburg University. I have extensive knowledge of and experience in magazine writing. I've been freelancing for 16 years, and worked as a magazine editor for 4 years before grad school, first as an assistant editor, and then 2 years as managing editor. I founded, designed, and edited an online magazine, Evil Genius magazine.com (now defunct).

I'm available for all sorts of freelance writing and editing jobs. I live close to Philly, Pittsburgh, DC, Baltimore & NYC.

I've appeared on TV (baking pies on a Comcast InDemand cooking show) and on radio (on MSL's Sirius morning show and during WITF-FM's coverage of the 9/11 attacks in 2001).

Freelancer Availability
